Clinical and Physiological Predictors of Acetylcholine‐Induced Coronary Spasm in ANOCA/INOCA Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A substantial proportion of patients with angina and/or ischemia are found to have non‐obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA/INOCA). Their symptoms can sometimes be explained by coronary microvascular dysfunction and/or vasospasm. Selecting patients for acetylcholine testing remains challenging, and the procedure is not trivial in ...

Mechanisms responsible for coronary vasospasm

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1986
Studies have been conducted on isolated segments of the left circumflex coronary artery of the dog to gain information on the mechanism or mechanisms of vasospasm. Coronary arteries contain both postjunctional alpha 1- and beta 1-adrenoceptors, and both are accessible to norepinephrine released from the sympathetic nerves.
